MP4/21 development during 2006

Post

I started with MP4/20 a few days ago and i think is good to follow Mc Laren 's development project through 2006 with MP4/21 and in near future with MP4/22 development during 2007 .

For low downforce and top Speed . Both Raikonnen and De La Rossa had the same wing

How exactly does the central gurney tab increase downforce ?
is it by 'trapping' more air on the rear wing's main profile ?

Not very sure, but I think it works just like a wing that has a very small area to create downforce. :roll:
I don't know what it is about Germany, but the tarmac they lay is perfectly smooth on the straights and very bumpy in the braking areas. So they need to do it the other way round! - David Coulthard, 2002.

If my memory serves me right, gurney flaps help to decrease skin (friction) drag and avoid aerodynamic stall. I may be wrong though.
